  Simplest form of fraction means that the hcf (highest common factor) of numerator and denominator is 1;

  Steps of writing fraction in its, simplest form:

  1. Find gcf(greatest common factor) of numerator and denominator:

  gcf(45, 108)= 9

  2. Divide numerator and denominator by their gcf:

  New Numerator= Numerator/ gcf

  => New numerator= 45/9=5

  New Denominator= Denominator/gcf

  New Denominator=108/9=12

  3. Write the fraction in simplest form:

  Simplest form= New Numerator/ New Denominator

  Therefore, Simplest form= 5/12

  The answer is 5/12
